I’ve been looking for some comic display inspirations and your set up is one of the best I’ve ever seen. So clean! Nice job!

As someone who is pretty new to this but has been looking to add to my small slabbed collection, I find eBay's completed sales to be the most helpful. It will help provide a bottom and ceiling for a book based on date. I use GoCollect just to see if a book I have an eye on might be had for a good price and that seems helpful as a general guide. My issue with Comiclink is that they keep sold items up for so long that it's hard to tell if a price sold is reliable at any point in time. Just a buyer's perpsective.

Thanks all! I appreciate all the advice and input. I do get what @Keys_Collector was saying in terms of newbs like me generally. Gonna do my best to keep learning and hopefully contributing to this community!

Well FWIW I don't have any intent on bothering the seller or trying to return it. I'm the type of person who can accept if I made a mistake or bad purchase. I thought it was a fair question but I guess it wasn't. Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure it was at least partially directed at me since it's his only response to my question. Also, I read lots of threads to find an answer before asking and to be fair I wasn't asking if the grade was wrong, but simply whether there was damage to the comic after slabbing, which I've seen happen with other collectors. I was just concerned that I paid for a 9.2 based on the grade, but that it's no longer that worth that grade. Would you say that's not a legitimate question? I recognize that newb questions like mine can sometimes be annoying, but simply not commenting is free. Being nice and helpful (as you were to me) is of course much appreciated.

Good to know. That makes sense with @Stuntman comment that the cover looks like it was twisted or something while printing. Thanks to you, @The Lions Den & @Stuntman for the help!

You're a nice person.

THANK YOU for the response! I guess my question is whether it seems like the book was graded and then this happened to the cover during slabbing or whether books can be graded 9.2 even with that slanted cover?

Hi All - I’m a complete newb to collecting graded comics and I recently purchased this 9.2 grade comic and later realized that the cover seems off alignment or off center. You can see on right right side the pages are showing. Is this a problem with the comic after grading that I should be worried about? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you! 🙏
